Please forgive me for ranting, but...I am so tired of AI. Just so tired. I don't want Microsoft Copilot, or Google Gemini, or Meta AI, or whatever other energy-sucking, water-wasting, mediocrity-spewing LLM is currently being thrust upon me. I just want to be left alone to create in peace.

i fear i need this

[stars-a-n-d-scars]

this might be a hot take but… i miss the marauders fandom before it got gentrified by tiktok

[stars-a-n-d-scars]

i feel like most people truly just don’t understand how old a lot of fandom writers and artists are so when someone says they’re 30 it’s a shock but most people actually are

how are you gonna be 31 and posting fandom content bro leave it to the teenagers

People 10 and 20 years older than me are writing your favorite fanfics, and drawing your favorite characters. You'd have no fandom without the people you think are 'too old' to have hobbies.

also, while we’re talking about PoA -

I always forget how subtextually gay Lupin seems in the text

I think Wolfstar is so established now (and it’s so firmly a Marauders-era-centered ship now) that a lot of people don’t engage very much with the canon. but I’d ship these two if all I ever got was PoA, because Lupin behaves like he’s being interrogated by the police every time Sirius comes up in casual conversation and it’s hilarious

hope you enjoy your cackle 💚

if dutton loses his own seat i will CACKLE

[stars-a-n-d-scars]

I am awash with a wave of relief with this election. Hilarious how hard we slapped that shit away, even funnier if Dutton entirely loses his seat. Another country united by not wanting to be the US I guess.

Thank you Australia for having some sense.

brilliant ep, we are SO back

things that happened to me when i was a woman in STEM:

an advisor humiliated me in front of an entire lab group because of a call I made in his place when he wouldn't reply to my e-mails for months

he later delegated part of my master's thesis work to a 19-year old male undergrad without my approval

a male scientist at a NASA conference looked me up and down and asked when i was graduating and if i was open to a job at his company. right before inquiring what my ethnicity was because i "looked exotic"

a random male member of the public began talking over me and my female advisor, an oceanographer with a pHD and decades of experience, saying he knew more about oceanography than us

things that have happened to me since becoming a man in STEM:

being asked consistently for advice on projects despite being completely new to a position

male colleagues approaching me to drop candid information regarding our partners / higher ups that I was not privy to before

lenience toward my work in a way I haven't experienced before. incredible understanding when I need to take time off to care for my family.

conference rooms go silent when I start talking. no side chatter. I get a baseline level of attention and focus from people that's very unfamiliar and genuinely difficult for me to wrap my head around.

like. yes some PI's will still be assholes regardless of the gender of their subordinates but, I've lived this transition. misogyny in STEM is killing women's careers, and trans men can and do experience male privilege.

[stars-a-n-d-scars]

thank you! this is so cute. i held off on reading it for ages because Im not super into AUs either, but Nature and Nurture is my favourite fic of all time so I sort of owed it to @earlgreytea68 to give it a try, and loved it

i’ve just finished reading Saving Sherlock Holmes, do you have any teen johnlock art?

Sure :)

[stars-a-n-d-scars]

Although it’s too romantic I’ll post it. For procrastibatch
